Hornblower Sails Seas of Diplomacy and War By ROBERT W. SMITH THERE IS a broad fraternity of men who iike to walk around the block in the pouring rain, or who enjoy the short walk from the carline home in a driving snowstorm. Or perhaps they let it go at just standing close to the window, watching the slashing rain and livid lightning and listening to the Edward Shenton, noted book illustrator, has several examples of his work in the latest of the Rivers in America series, THE JAMES, by Blair Niles, published by Farrar Rinehart. The above is a pen-and-ink chapter head illustration from the book. JOHN K.

SHERMAN Question: Have Seen a Thought You Ever Walking? ready veering against Russia, which in this war occupied the same position as France in the last. Miss Perkins The joint desire of two men hat Secretary of Labor Frances Perkins gain no prestige was partly responsible for the protracted soft coal wage contract negotiations. With the negotiating committee apparently stalemated and government seizure only a matter of hours, Miss Perkins prevailed on the committee to listen to her plan for settlement of the controversy. For two hours the negotiators heard the secretary. Miners chief John L.

Lewis expressed reserved approval. So did conference chairman Ezra Van Horn, Cleveland coal operator. John O'Neill, representing the southern operators, was for immediate acceptance. Lewis and Van Horn stalled for time, and the negotiators, after thanking Miss Perkins and indicating an early agreement, adjourned until nine that evening. Miss Perkins left, confident that she had done something really big in the closing days of her cabinet career.

But between the adjournment at six and the next meeting at nine, Lewis and Van Horn collared O'Neill in Van Horn's Shoreham suite. Both Lewis and Van Horn concurred with O'Neill that Miss Perkins had submitted an equitable contract, but they told O'Neill that to accept immediately "would give that damned woman prestige that would make her insufferable to management and labor alike." O'Neill finally yielded and later that evening Miss Perkins' proposal was not accepted. Then followed wildcat strikes and damaging loss of coal. Negotiations dragged on until April 11 -when with great fanfare the contract was signed. With one minor exception, the agreement executed was the one proposed by Miss Perkins 13 days before.

Capitol Chaff American film distributors have been asked by OWI to concentrate on pictures dealing with the Japanese war for showing in France and European countries. Such films as "Guadalcanal Diar "Air Force," "Wake Island," "Ba-taan," 'Corregider," and "Thirty Seconds Over Tokyo" are being featured in France this month. The federal communications commission now has over 400 applications for FM broadcasting stations. Representative Joe Farring-ton of Hawaii has prepared a bill to grant full citizenship to Chamorros natives of the island of Guam. Farrington says he did so on the basis of Blake Clark's thrilling book "Robinson Crusoe, USN," which tells of the aid given by Chamorros to navy Radioman George Tweed, who took to the bush when the Japs came to Guam and eluded capture for two and a half years.

WASHINGTON. ONE QUESTION discussed at Yalta -which plagues the Truman administration is the use of German prisoner labor by the Russian. When it arose at Yalta, Artm. William Leahy opposed Stalin's plan to have German labor re build Russian cities. However, Stalin was firm and Roosevelt sided with him, Since then the question has arisen during reparations discussions and Catholic lead ers inside the Leahy administration have opposed the use of.

prisoner labor. So also has the AFL. Finally, however, a compromise has been arranged, satisfactory to all sides. Germans who were members of the ges-tapo, members of the SS, or party leaders will be conscripted to rebuild Russia. France and the liberated countries, but non-Nazi Germans will not.

mm New reparations chief Ed Pauley took these and other German reparations questions "up'with congressional leaders last week. "There is only one way we can get Germany to pay for the ruination she's caused," Pauley explained. "She can't do it with money, because the Germans have no money. And they can't do It with materials or exports, because if we rebuild German industry in order to pay us in exports, then we restore her war-making potentialities. Therefore, the only way Germany can pay for her damage," Pauley continued, "is through labor.

"No one likes the idea of slave labor, but the Germans have been accustomed to spending a certain number of years in the army. That, in a sense, is forced labor. Since Germany won't have any army in the future, and since they are accustomed to conscription, they can now adopt reconstruction instead of conscription." Reaction of the different congressmen was unanimously favorable. Even GOP Representative John Taber of Auburn, N. Y.

(a fruit and dairy area) made no objection, except to say: "I trust you will leave German prisoners in the United States where they are this year so we can get enough labor to harvest the crops." Pauley assured him this would be done. Senator Tydings of Maryland concurred with the plan, but added: Tbe public will be with you on this now, but in one year you'll have the sentimentalists howling about the starring Germans. So be prepared to have people turn against you later." Pauley observed that he had had a survey made of the newspapers after the last war and found that within two years after the armistice, American public opinion had reversed itself to such an extent that there was more sympathy for Germany than for France. This time public opinion is al from a third party. It is deplorably inefficient and is subject to countless interruptions and diversions.

Almost anything suffices to lure it away from the job in hand. Can you make yourself think? That is open to question. There are a few contingencies where you can do so, I believe. For example, you are driving down to the railroad station to meet Aunt Nellie who is coming to pay you a visit, and you must devise a method of telling her, in a gracious and hospitable way, that you are crazy to see her but haven't any room in your home to put her up, and no red points, eithtr. IN A SITUATION like that you can and do think, and under compulsion.

But for some reason it works just the opposite way when, at a meeting, you are suddenly called upon for a three-minute speech. I've found there is complete mental stoppage under such conditions, associated with wet palms, claustrophobia and panic. Sometimes I think that the thinking process is vastly over-rated. The mind without feelings, intuition and imagination is a barren thing, but with them it is a kind of porridge that spews up all kinds of odds and ends, some of which are good but most of which are fit only for the scrap drive. Not knowing exactly how I think, I at least know what preparation is best for thinking.

At least it works for me. It's a kind of receptivity I induce by not thinking for a while. I encourage my mind to become pulpy and flexible, like a cube steak, and then usually something happens a bright remark, a pithy phrase that begins to take you somewhere, a collision of brain cells, a hanging up of a clothesline of ideas, the unearthing of a nugget that has a little lustre if you start polishing it. But it all seems, in retrospect, so accidental. I wish I had a formula, or some kind of coin-in-the-slot gadget that could be guaranteed to work.

UNDER THE FORMIDABLE title of "The Psychology of Invention in the Mathematical Field," Jacques Hadamard has written a book wherein he reveals, among other things, how Albert Einstein thinks. Inasmuch as Einstein possesses one of the mightiest thinking engines extant, it is interesting to know that he thinks not in words but "by means of certain signs and more or less clear images which can voluntarily be reproduced and combined. Conventional words to explain his concepts have to be sought for laboriously after the problem has been solved by associative 'play' of the images in his mind." I had always thought that the best thinking was done in words, for words certainly are the concrete medium of expression and thought. But it is easy to see that certain specialists think with the materials of their specialties mathematicians with mathematical symbols, composers with tone, rhythm and harmony, painters with color, pattern and design. ONE OF THE MOST exasperating experiments you can attempt is that of trying to find out how you think.

I tried it myself the other day. I watched my mind patiently for several minutes to see how it functioned. I wanted to know whether in its everyday operation it used words, images, symbols or colored beads or what. Nothing happened. Nothing happened at all.

My mind just stood there, frozen, like a guilt-stricken man with a concealed brick in front of a jewelry window waiting for the policeman to walk away. After I gave up the attempt to watch my thinking apparatus it began to work again in its jerky and inimitable fashion. I came to the conclusion that thinking, as far as I was concerned, was a touch-and-go proposition, functioning by fits and starts, a sensitive mechanism that resented any prying curiosity GALLUP POLL Public Credits Accounts of Nazi Horrors PRINCETON, N. J. ALTHOUH some reporters who described the German atrocities felt that civilians here at home might find it hard to believe, account of such frightful-ness, a survey shows 84 per cent of Americans think the stories are true.

Furthermore, the public approves the taking the following steps: 1. A substantial majority (60 per cent) believe it is a good idea to show pictures of the atrocities in movie theaters throughout the country. 2. A very large proportion of our people (87 per cent) want such pictures to be shown to all German prisoners in the United States. The army is insisting that the more than 340,000 such prisoners here be required to see the films.

3. In order that the German people in Germany may have unforgettable memories of how their former masters conducted themselves, 87 per cent of the American people also favor the showing atrocity films to all Germans in the Reich. The nation's attitude toward Nazi war crimes is shown in the following survey: "What do you think of the reports that the Germans have killed many people in concentration camps or let them starve to death are they true or not trueT" True 84 True, but 9 Doubtful, hard to 1 Not true 3' Can't decide West High Choir in Concert Friday West high school a cappella choir, directed by Peter D.

His season of 22 concerts there will be from June 18 to ominous mutter of thunder.

What they're after is a feeling of defying the elements, braving the hazards of nature without giving up any of the soft comforts of their civilized existence. C. S. Fox-ester's newest book, COMMODORE HORNBLOWER (Little, Brown, $2.50) is rich fare for such armchair adventurers. Still coddled in the cushions of their favorite chair they can corner and destroy a Napoleonic privateer, save the life of Czar Alexander of Russia with a deft sword slash at the would-be assassin's wrist, and rally a motley mob of Russian soldiers to repel a desperate charge of Napoleon's imperial guards during the siege of Riga.

Blood-stirring stuff. i Hornblower, stern, courajreous imaginary hero of Britain's long struggle against Napoleon, first sailed over the literary horixon as the sea captain-diplomat of "Captain Horatio Hornhlower, (a triloity including "Flying; Colors," "Ship of the Line," and "Beat to Now, after a short, restless turn ashore ns a country souire. Hornblower has put to sea again. Mellowed by life with his wife, the lovely Lady Barbara, sister of Foreign Secretary YVel-lesley and the Duke of Wellington, Hornblower has put aside some of the spartan qualities he owned before becoming a peer and knight of the Bath. But he still retains his old dar ing mind and talent for decisive action.

As a commodore, Hornblower takes a British naval squadron into the frigid Baltic and the treacherous shoals of European diplomacy. His two-fold task to destroy Napoleon's Baltic shipping and edge Russia's reluctant Alexander and Prince Bernadotte of Sweden into war against the French emperor. Curiously enough, the commodore's most vivid, adventures aside from the destruction of the French privateer are all. ashore, in his contributions to the victory of the Russian garrison of Riga over the besieging French imperial forces. Forester maintains here his previous ability to catch in simple words the stark ugliness of war.

This is a man's book. Lady Barbara appears but briefly, and then properly retiring as the faithful spouse. And Horn-blower's encounter with the sultry-eyed, calculatingly passionate Russian countess is strictly from the male point of view. It's a particular joy, to enthusiasts of sailing days, but landlubbers need not be bothered by occasional references to fore mizzen sails, royals, top gallants and various parts of the ship's rigging. If you are nauti-cally-minded, it's refreshing to find them handled properly.

If not. pass over them and enjoy the adventure. Scottish Rite Choir Gives Concert Today Annual concert of the Scottish Rite choir will be presented at Scottish Rite temple, 2011 Dupont avenue at 4 p.m. today. Harry W.

JOt RNAL EDITORIAL PAGE. THE OPEN FORUM 'Tribal God Idea Must Be Abolished' To the Editor: The prayers of thanks for victory are as unseemly for Christians as were the prayers for victory itself. For Christians cannot worship a god of battles, a tribal god that contends like Pallas Athene for one people against another. The Hebrews dropped that conception of God when their prophets taught them the nobler belief in a Father who loves all his children equally. While all of us deeply appreciated the spirit of devotion that led President Truman, as it had led President Roosevelt before him, to beseech the Almighty to favor our side in the conflict and to thank Him for the favor, we who strongly believe the teachings of Jesus could not join with him in this attitude.

There can be no real peace in the world until the notion of the tribal god is liquidated in favor of the God of Jesus. Minneapolis. E. Dudley Parsons. RECORDED MUSIC POPULAR: The Dinning sisters are three smart songsters offering sophisticated arrangements and smooth harmonies.

Their album, Songs By The Dinning Sisters exhibits their ability to shine up a song and such numbers as Aunt Hagar's Blues and The Way You Look Tonight are given a pleasing sparkle. But sometimes they are just too cute with their clipped words and rhythm changes and the line and mood of such a song as Where Or When are (Capitol A 7) My guess is "that St. Louis Jimmy "ain't studied with nobody. There is a raw simplicity In his singing that's a long way from the manner of Lawrence Tihbett or even Frank Sinatra. Such must have been the beginnings of jazz: Strange Woman Blues (Bluebird 34-0727) Xavler Cugat must have a million of 'em." stylized pieces like Toca Tu Samba.

Lanka, author of HIGHWAY TO ALASKA (Appleton-Century, $5) but he is singularly honest and a good photographer besides, so his illustrated book is an authentic guide to the military road which was so largely built by Minnesotans. Lank, who previously had motored from Patagonia to the V. S.

set out with a companion in a jeep and went to Fairbanks, Alaska, and back to New York City. That was quite a feat in the summer of 1943, for I tried the same thing. A few hundred miles north of Whltehorse, I found the road out, bo rode back to Whitehome, Yukon territory, and took a plane to Fairbanks, and then came back on the highway in Alaska, Lanks, encountering the same condition, loaded his jeep on a Lewes river steamer at Whitehorse, went down the Yukon to Circle City and traveled by jeep over the Steese highway to Fairbanks, then boldly ventured down the Alaska highway. He was delayed by the swamps which had swallowed the road, but with the aid of bulldozers his jeep was snaked through the woods and finally got through to Whltehorse. If the book is not exactly "the exciting record of a trip by United States army jeep over the great Alaska highway" which the Jacket advertises, it is an interesting account of people and places in Alaska and northwest Canada.

Photographs and text in some respects have been outdated by events since 1943, but the book is a valuable part of the saga of the Alaska highway. August 3, with three concerts a week on the schedule. Preparation for the season has consumed most of Mr. Mitropoulos' time since the close of his duties with the orchestra here late in April. At the close of the Dell concerts, Air.

Mitroponlos will have one more assignment before he returns to Minneapolis in September to preimre for his next season with the orchestra here, lie will go to New York for four Sunday afternoon concerts with the New York Philharmonic Symphony starting- Aug. 5. The Minneapolis 1945-46 season will consist of 18 subscription concerts, as usual, with a number of special features, including the annual season of ballet. In December, Mr. Mitropoulos will go to Rochester, N.

for two weeks of guest -conducting with the orchestra there. Anionjr the important svrtista who will be heard with the Minneapolis orchestra next season, its forty-third, are Marian Anderson, contralto Helen Traubel, soprano; Claodio Ar-rau, William KapelL Wltold Mal-cuzynski and Alexander sky, pianists, and Zino Frances-cat ti, Yehudi Menuhin, Albert Spalding and Isaac Stern, violinists. Arthur J. Gaines, orchestra manager, dispatched a preliminary prospectus of the season to all season ticket subscribers during the week. Many orders for seats already have been received.

Mr. Gaines also has been busy on contracts for next year. He already has received signed contracts from all of the principals and now is at work with other members. Some of the musicians, as usual, are accepting other assignments, but the orchestra will continue at the same high standard that it has enjoyed over the years, Mr. Gaines said.

Asks Exception From Anti-Semitism To the Editor: A recent letter in this column might be construed as indicative of considerable anti-Semitism among the people of Swedish descent.

Mabel McCulloch. 'High Water Levelled Race Problem' To the Editor: In the Sunday Tribune of May 13 there were letters telling of the assets and liabilities of being a Jew. One family could not buy a house because they' were Jews and a Swedish lady could not rent an apartment because she was not Jewish. If people were only informed on the subject, the Jewish question would never arise. It was settled centuries ago.

After the high water in 2349 B. C. the only fami'y left on earth was the Noah family, all Jewish. As there have been no men made out of dust sine Adam, it follows that each of us is a descendent of the sca-faring Noahs. We are all Jews and can't do anything-about it, even if we wanted to, so let's stop this business of the pot calling the kettle black.

Minneapolis. Frank C. Hughes. Julia Was Afraid of Love JULIA GREER had youth and beauty and charm, but she was afraid of life and of love. For her it was a carefully instilled fear: "The more you love," her mother had warned, "the more hostages you give to life.

The more ways you can be hurt." The story of how Julia escaped from that fear makes choice reading for those who like the bet-ter-than-average stories. That's why THEY DARE NOT GO A HUNTING (Dodd, Mead. $2.50) was selected as winner of the $10,000 Dodd, Mead-Redbook prize novel competition.
